I have had a few close personal friends tell me I had to check out this band, Angry Octopus. I really don’t want to though. I like happy squid and I feel that perpetuating a society of angry octopi simply does a disservice to all the cephalopod mollusks. In fact I have totally refused to listen to this band until now. Happy octopuses be damned. This is the review now printed in ink.

Your Musician Horoscope

Guitarist

Your fingers are especially fast today, guitarist. You'll find that it communes well with your anxious groupies. Someone may have recently stepped into your life and now it's time to engage with this person on a deeper level, make them sit though you playing an open mic or free bird at home. It's wise to take things one step at a time and only play one or two notes for each guitar solo. Don't let your imagination get carried away because no one relaly likes a flange effect. It could be hard to find the line between imaginary and actual. Watch out, your drummer is sleeping with your ex-girlfriend.

The Greenlights broke up. Or did they? Well if they did or did not or will or will not one thing is fact; They recorded an album at Rocking Horse Studio. They most definitely recorded an album. A member of the band definitely snuck me an advanced copy and they definitely are releasing it next month! It definitely is called “Bright Day” It also definitely defiantly defiles and defines while destructing and deconstructing rock n roll and hard n bold.

7 Questions with Glenn Moir of Dopamine

Glenn Moir is a guy you see all over the local music scene. He is always out and about, playing with this band or that. Most recently he has taken up playing with Dopamine. Slapping his bass for the band perfectly as he is the master of the low end. We got to sit down with him and chat about the band and some other crap. We asked him 5 questions, he answered 7. He then proceeded to buy us beer after beer. Really nice guy although I am still not sure how to pronounce his last name. At this point I really don’t care. More? Mo Yar? Moo are? Moo ear? Mow Er? Ok, maybe I do care. It keeps me up at night and when I finally drift to sleep, I wake up screaming. Enough about my troubles, here are the questions.

Sea King- My Own Private Cave (Nomadic Behavior Records)

Jake Newcomb released his followup to last year’s Prisoner’s Dilemma during late summer in Portland, Oregon, but every time I listen to it, I’m reminded of mid-winter in Portland, Maine. Seeing as I live there, that’s only natural, I suppose. Still, I’m impressed that Newcomb can create songs about hyper-specific moments in his life that make me feel like they’re about my own. That’s exactly what he did with My Own Private Cave, his second full-length cassette as Sea King.Click here for the entire review
